My Guardian Angel (English version)

Chapter 2 - Friends

I've arrived at school, and because I'm so early before my class starts, I'm alone in the classroom. I think I still have 30 minutes to spear.

I sat down at the very back near to a window. We don't have any sit arrangement but I always sit at the back, I like to see everything in the classroom and it became a hobby for me as well. I always sit at the back because of my surname 'Yalito' since elementary, so I feel there is something wrong when I sit at the front, or even in the middle.

And while I'm waiting, I'm just here sketching in my sketchbook. I'm sketching the black angel figurine that I've just had. It's really beautiful.

This is what I do almost every day, since in elementary up to today. Gone to school pretty early just to draw. I can't do this at home because I'll be really busy helping my Mom do chores or do my assignments or projects.

I like to do it here in an empty classroom. It's quiet and it makes my mind relax.

I like drawing since I was 2 and I also like sharing my knowledge in drawing and even in any kind of art form to others. That's why I enrolled as an art teacher. Well, more specific as a MAPEH (music, art, physical education, and health) teacher. In this school, you can't choose one, because MAPEH considered as one subject.

I have no problems with music because I also like it. And health subjects are some basic health tips. But in PE, I really have low stamina and sometimes clumsy. I just hope the school I'm going to work at in the future is not too sport oriented.

But art is something I'm excited to learn and teach about. I like to know people through their art, even they think that they're not good at it, you can still tell their personality through it. That's what art means...well for me that is.

"Hey! Alice!" I heard a familiar voice and when I was about to look at him from my back, he just suddenly ruined my hair! Ugh, why is he here?!

"Ken! Stop it!" I said it while trying to stop him, but he keeps avoiding my hands to push him away.

And for a minute later, he stopped and just sit beside me with his innocent smile, "That's much better! You're a perfect witch now, Alice" and then he laughs like a maniac.

"Ugh! Why the heck are you here?! You're on a different floor than us, Ken!" I said frustratedly while trying to fix my hair.

"Oh come on, is it bad to say hello?" he said innocently.

"No, but ruining their hair in the process to just say hello is something a psycho will do" I said sarcastically while still trying to fix my hair. Why is he good at ruining somebody's hair?! Ugh!!

"OK, OK, fine, I'll fix it for you, so stop struggling so much" and then he stands up, went to the back of my chair, and started to fix my hair, "do you have a comb and any kind of hair tie?" he asked.

"I swear Ken if you do something funny on my hair, I'll strangle you to death" I said it as a threat but I know he'll just treat it as a joke.

"Jeez, murderer much? I'm just trying to fix your hair that I messed with so stop threatening me" he said jokingly.

"OK fine, here" I annoyingly said while handing him the comb and one small hair tie that I have in my shoulder bag.

"Thanks, and stop pouting, you are not so cute when you're doing that" he said teasingly.

"I am not pouting! Just fix my hair already" at this point I'm just pretending to be annoyed.

"OK boss!" And I think he also knew that I'm just pretending now. And with that, he started to comb my hair.
